This investment was joined by existing investor 100Unicorns, along with angel investment network Vinners and several undisclosed angel investors. The funds will be used to expand DocPharma's operations to 50 cities across India and establish 100 new licensed dark stores.\n\nDocPharma, founded in 2024 by Saquib Ali, Shashank Rai, and Sagar Chauhan, operates a quick commerce supply chain network specifically for healthcare businesses. Their proprietary platform, DocPharma One, integrates warehouse management, inventory intelligence, order management, and fulfillment operations. The company's dark stores, housing over 40,000 SKUs each, are supported by an AI-driven and pharmacist-led compliance infrastructure. This infrastructure allows DocPharma to deliver medicines and healthcare products within 30 minutes, without requiring partner platforms to develop and manage their own supply chains.\n\nWith a current presence in more than 12 cities and over 8 lakh orders fulfilled, DocPharma boasts a fulfillment rate exceeding 95%. The company's disciplined approach, built one licensed dark store at a time, has proven successful as they scale into 50 cities.",
